What if you could bring a river back from the dead, rebuild a valley, restore hope, and revive the local community?


In this episode, Silvia Quarta shares the extraordinary story of a grassroots effort to revive the Quipar River in one of Europe’s driest regions: Murcia, Spain. Through a community-led, science-backed approach to ecosystem restoration, Silvia is showing that even the most degraded landscapes can become living, thriving places again - with the right people, the right tools, and the will to listen.


From soil to water to social fabric, this conversation touches on every layer of regeneration. Silvia’s work with local farmers, international partners like Commonland, and the Regeneration Academy offers a powerful model for dryland farming, bioregional restoration, and long-term ecological resilience.


Whether you’re a regenerative farmer, policymaker, activist, or simply a human being trying to make sense of our environmental moment -> this episode is for you!
